So this is a Nazi Zombie flick out of one of the Scandinavias...Swedish. Danish. Hollandaise. Wherever. It's like the difference between Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota, I'm thinkin. Same accent, different vocabulary. And a lot of fucking snow.
Present day, a couple of olderish med students head up to a secluded cabin in the mountains for an Easter retreat, with plans to just chill out and have a good time. Enter the crazy Foreign Legion guy to plant a little fear and provide exposition as to what has happened in the area in the past, and away we go! Could've been worse, I guess.
This is pretty much a direct homage to 'classic' American horror flicks. Not really; they're mostly just cribbing heavily from Sam Raimi's 'EVIL DEAD' stuff, and overtly so (with a nice shout-out to Peter Jackson's 'BRAIN DEAD' [aka DEAD ALIVE]) in the process. Some decent gore from time to time, with good practical make-up followed with way too much of the CG junk. Unfortunately, not adding too much more to the horror genre equation here. Besides snow. A lot of fucking snow. But not a single boob. Really?!? Must have been catered a little too much to the Scandinavian equivalent of the MPAA to get a PG-13 rating (even though it's "Unrated" here). Too bad. Wouldn't have helped out too much, though. There's a couple darkly comic moments scattered throughout, but it mostly is a 'dramatic' flick with a lot of gore but fairly minimal tension and, well, horror.
